MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Intensive care nurses immediately doubted the word of federal immigration officers when they arrived at a Minneapolis hospital with a Mexican immigrant who had broken bones in his face and skull.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents initially claimed Alberto Castañeda Mondragón had tried to flee while handcuffed and “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall,” according to court documents filed by a lawyer seeking his release.

But staff members at Hennepin County Medical Center determined that could not possibly account for the fractures and bleeding throughout the 31-year-old’s brain, said three nurses familiar with the case.

“It was laughable, if there was something to laugh about,” said one of the nurses, who spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss patient care. “There was no way this person ran headfirst into a wall.”...

Sounds like he ran into a wall

"The AP interviewed a doctor and five nurses who work at HCMC, who spoke on condition of anonymity to talk about Castañeda Mondragón’s case. AP also consulted with an outside physician, and they all affirmed that his injuries were inconsistent with an accidental fall or running into a wall.."


Nope. It doesn't sound like he really ran into a wall. You guys love when ICE beats up on people, why aren't you laughing at them cracking on this guy's skull?

measles at the kiddie concentration camp in Dilley, TX


U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement halted "all movement" at a detention center in Texas for families and quarantined some migrants there after medical staff confirmed two detainees had "active measles infections," the Department of Homeland Security said Sunday.


The measles (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/measles-outbreak-us-map/) cases at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center were detected Friday, Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement to CBS News. The ICE facility houses parents and children taken into federal custody over alleged violations of immigration law. It is located in south Texas, roughly an hour drive from San Antonio.


"ICE Health Services Corps immediately took steps to quarantine and control further spread and infection, ceasing all movement within the facility and quarantining all individuals suspected of making contact with the infected," McLaughlin said.


McLaughlin said medical officials were monitoring detainees and taking "appropriate and active steps to prevent further infection."
"All detainees are being provided with proper medical care," she added.

oh look, DHS lied again




DHS’s account of two Venezuelans shot by border patrol falls apart in court: ‘A smear campaign’




Immigration officials said agent shot two ‘vicious gang members’ in Portland, but records obtained by the Guardian reveal US prosecutor contradicted claims

Immediately after a US border patrol agent shot two people (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jan/08/portland-federal-agents-shooting) in Oregon last month, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said the targets were “vicious” gang members connected to a prior shooting and alleged they had “attempted to run over” officers with their vehicle.

In the weeks since, key parts of the federal government’s narrative have fallen apart.

The events took place on the afternoon of 8 January, one day after a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)officer fatally shot Renee Nicole Good (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jan/22/renee-good-autopsy-ice-minneapolis) in Minneapolis.

According to a DHS press release (https://www.dhs.gov/news/2026/01/09/dhs-provides-update-us-border-patrol-portland-who-attempted-arrest-tren-de-aragua) and social media posts (https://x.com/DHSgov/status/2009644147066433555) issued the following day, border patrol agents were conducting a “targeted” stop of a vehicle in Portland occupied by two members of Tren de Aragua, the Venezuelan gang. Yorlenys Zambrano-Contreras, a woman in the passenger seat, had been “involved” in a Portland shooting last year, the agency wrote.

During the border patrol stop, the driver, Luis Niño-Moncada, “weaponized their vehicle against” officers, DHS said, prompting an agent “to defend himself and others” by shooting the occupants. Zambrano-Contreras was hit in the chest, Niño-Moncada was hit in the arm and both were hospitalized, then taken into federal custody, DHS noted. The agents were uninjured.

But court records obtained by the Guardian reveal a Department of Justice prosecutor later directly contradicted DHS’ Tren de Aragua statements in court, telling a judge, “We’re not suggesting … [Niño-Moncada] is a gang member.” An FBI affidavit issued following the incident also suggests that in the previous shooting cited by DHS, Zambrano-Contreras was not a suspect, but rather a reported victim of a sexual assault and robbery. Neither Niño-Moncada or Zambrano-Contreras have prior criminal convictions, their lawyers have said.

The premises of Trump's mass deportation policy are bullshit

Immigration is an unambiguous economic and social good


The government first began gathering detailed information on benefits use by citizenship status in 1994. The data show:




For each year from 1994 to 2023, the US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government.
Over that period, immigrants created a cumulative fiscal surplus of $14.5 trillion in real 2024 US dollars, including $3.9 trillion in savings on interest on the debt.
Without immigrants, US government public debt at all levels would be at least 205 percent of gross domestic product (GDP)—nearly twice its 2023 level.


These results, which do not account for any of immigration’s indirect, tax-revenue-boosting effects on economic growth, represent the lower bound of the positive fiscal effects.

I reached out to Graff, who was a Pulitzer Prize finalist for his (https://www.amazon.com/Watergate-History-Garrett-M-Graff/dp/198213917X/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0)history of the Watergate scandal (https://www.amazon.com/Watergate-History-Garrett-M-Graff/dp/198213917X/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0) (https://www.amazon.com/Watergate-History-Garrett-M-Graff/dp/198213917X/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0), because just two days before the ProPublica report, he offered some extraordinary history and background about CPB in testimony before an Illinois state commission (https://www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/accountability-for-ice-and-cbp) that’s looking into misconduct during the 2025 immigration raids there.

Graff’s statement went viral on social media (https://bsky.app/profile/vermontgmg.bsky.social/post/3mdsspnj3bs23) because it detailed a toxic culture at CPB that’s highlighted by shocking levels of criminality among its agents, from on-the-job brutality to off-duty thuggery, as well as domestic violence (https://www.pogo.org/analyses/misconduct-at-cbp-runs-deep-and-congress-must-address-this-systemic-problem).

Finding that at least 4,913 Border Patrol agents and CBP officers were arrested over a 20-year period, Graff testified (https://www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/accountability-for-ice-and-cbp), “Indeed, for much of the 2010s and likely before and since, it appears the crime rate of CBP agents and officers was higher per capita than the crime rate of undocumented immigrants in the United States.

more and more regularly, US citizens are experiencing the inhumane conditions of administrative detention at ICE too

this report is from the East Montana concentration camp


Each of the detainees she spoke with during the visit had been there about three weeks, and many of them were wearing the same clothes at the time of their arrests.
"Every single woman had been in the facility about three weeks and had been living in the same articles of clothing for three weeks," [US Rep Veronica} Escobar (D) said. "Their clothes had not been washed. They had not been offered fresh underwear or fresh clothing. Some of them were literally still in their snow boots from Minnesota."


She explained that many of those detained she spoke with were in the U.S. legally and were in immigration cases. Two of the detainees she spoke with were victims of torture and had pending asylum cases, she said.


"Almost all of them were in the country legally," Escobar said.https://www.elpasotimes.com/story/news/immigration/2026/02/05/us-rep-veronica-escobar-voices-new-concerns-over-camp-east-montana/88493821007/

is DHS f@cking up the measles outbreak at the Dilley, TX kiddie concentration camp?


Those concerns have taken on new urgency in recent days after health officials confirmed two measles cases among people detained (https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/2-measles-infections-confirmed-texas-facility-5-year-old-detained-minn-rcna256993) at Dilley. Advocates and medical experts warn that a highly contagious disease spreading inside a crowded facility housing young children — some already medically vulnerable — poses an acute public-health risk.


Lawyers representing families at Dilley say they have struggled to get clear answers from the Department of Homeland Security about the outbreak, including any steps being taken to limit its spread or verify whether children are vaccinated.


DHS didn’t answer questions from NBC News about conditions at Dilley. It has defended its use of family detention, saying in statements and legal filings that detainees are provided basic necessities and that officials work to ensure children and adults are safe.


Ryan Gustin, a spokesperson for CoreCivic, which has a contract (https://ir.corecivic.com/news-releases/news-release-details/corecivic-announces-resumption-operations-south-texas-family) to run the facility that’s expected to bring in $180 million annually, referred questions about Dilley to DHS and said in a statement that “the health and safety of those entrusted to our care” is the company’s top priority.

Tuberculosis is circulating in ICE facilities, it has recently been reported at the East Montana camp at Ft Bliss too

Concentration camps --> death camps


Consumption is flourishing in immigration detention centers across the country, yet another sign that America is grinding its way through a second Gilded Age (https://prospect.org/power/2025-07-31-second-gilded-age-resembling-first/). It’s better known now by its other name, tuberculosis, and it’s the most deadly infectious disease in the world, the World Health Organization says (https://www.who.int/health-topics/tuberculosis#tab=tab_1), responsible for killing 1.5 million people each year, even though it’s both preventable and curable.


Detainees have tested positive for tuberculosis at the Anchorage Correctional Complex (https://www.acluak.org/en/press-releases/ice-detainee-held-anchorage-jail-june-hospitalized-tuberculosis) in Alaska and Adelanto ICE Processing Center (https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2025-06-20/unsanitary-overcrowded-and-inhumane-red-flags-raised-about-conditions-in-adelanto-detention-center) in California, according to news reports.

Her deportation violating a court order was an admitted ICE mistake, but Any Lucia Lopez Belloza is not admissible to the USA, says DHS, refusing to return her

Belloza is a college freshman in Boston who was detained and deported after she tried to visit her family for Thanksgiving

DHS could face judicial contempt in this case


President Donald Trump (https://www.reuters.com/topic/person/donald-trump/)'s administration on Friday called a judge's proposal that the government issue a student visa to a college student it deported to Honduras in violation of a court order "unfeasible" and said immigration authorities will not facilitate her return.


Boston-based U.S. District Judge Richard Stearns had given the administration until Friday to decide how to "rectify the mistake (https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/us-judge-says-visa-warranted-mistake-deporting-college-student-2026-01-17/)" it made when it deported Any Lucia Lopez Belloza, a Babson College student who was detained at an airport while traveling to spend the Thanksgiving holiday with her family in Texas.

The 20-year-old college freshman is a Honduran national who was brought to the United States by her mother when she was age 8 while seeking asylum. Babson is located in Wellesley, Massachusetts.


The U.S. Justice Departmentin (https://fingfx.thomsonreuters.com/gfx/legaldocs/gkplqnxdnvb/02062026any.pdf)a filingsaid that while it had conveyed the recommendation the judge made last month that the U.S. State Department issue Lopez Belloza a visa that would allow for her return, "she appears inadmissible to the United States."

It said U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement likewise declines to facilitate her return, even though her deportation was due to the agency's "inadvertent" violation of a court order.

"Such declination is driven by the fact that petitioner was subject to a final order of removal and therefore her arrest, detention and removal were authorized by statute and the Constitution," a Justice Department lawyer wrote.
It is unclear what Stearns, an appointee of Democratic former President Bill Clinton, may do next, though he has held out the possibility of ordering the administration to facilitate her return with a threat of holding it in civil contempt if it does not.

"We will continue to litigate this case till Any is brought back to the United States," Todd Pomerleau, her lawyer, said in a statement.

Lopez Belloza has said she was unaware she was subject to a final order of removal, which formed the basis of her arrest.

She was flown to Honduras on November 22 despite the fact that her lawyer had secured a court order in Massachusetts on November 21 barring Lopez Belloza from being deported or transferred out of the state for 72 hours. She remains there with her grandparents.

A lawyer for the government at a hearing last month apologized for the violation of the court's order, describing it as due to a "mistake" by an ICE officer who failed to properly flag it.

DHS detained him without cause and later found out he overstayed his visa


Alberto Castañeda Mondragón says his memory was so jumbled after a beating by immigration officers (https://apnews.com/hub/immigration) that he initially could not remember he had a daughter and still struggles to recall treasured moments like the night he taught her to dance.

But the violence he endured last month in Minnesota while being detained is seared into his battered brain.

He remembers Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pulling him from a friend’s car on Jan. 8 outside a St. Paul (https://apnews.com/hub/st-paul) shopping center and throwing him to the ground, handcuffing him, then punching him and striking his head with a steel baton. He remembers being dragged into an SUV and taken to a detention facility, where he said he was beaten again.

He also remembers the emergency room and the intense pain from eight skull fractures and five life-threatening brain hemorrhages.

“They started beating me right away when they arrested me,” the Mexican immigrant recounted this week to The Associated Press, which recently reported on how his case contributed to mounting friction (https://apnews.com/article/immigration-enforcement-minneapolis-hospitals-32cd5ca61d495e155d43b7cfd5e563b9) between federal immigration agents and a Minneapolis hospital.
https://apnews.com/article/immigration-enforcement-minneapolis-hospital-ice-beating-assault-4e77742e0629fc7f127c0aa38b3d2a70#

[Winehole23]

The officers told nurses Castañeda Mondragón “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall,” an account his caregivers immediately doubted. A CT scan showed fractures to the front, back and both sides of his skull — injuries a doctor told AP were inconsistent with a fall.


“There was never a wall,” Castañeda Mondragón said in Spanish, recalling ICE officers striking him with the same metal rod used to break the windows of the vehicle he was in. He later identified it as an ASP, a telescoping baton (https://www.asp-usa.com/collections/batons) routinely carried by law enforcement.


Training materials and police use-of-force policies across the U.S. say such a baton can be used to hit the arms, legs and body. But striking the head, neck or spine is considered potentially deadly force.

“The only time a person can be struck in the head with any baton is when the person presents the same threat that would permit the use of a firearm — a lethal threat to the officer or others,” said Joe Key, a former Baltimore police lieutenant and use-of-force expert who testifies in defense of police.


Once he was taken to an ICE holding facility at Ft. Snelling in suburban Minneapolis, Castañeda Mondragón said officers resumed beating him. Recognizing that he was seriously hurt, he said, he pleaded with them to stop but they just “laughed at me and hit me again.”

[Winehole23]

When one ICE agent was asked by medical providers for more information on Castaneda Mondragon’s injuries, the agent said that “he got his shit rocked” and did not elaborate further, the lawsuit says.https://sahanjournal.com/health/ice-detainee-hospitalized-head-injury-lawsuit/

[Winehole23]

A video posted to social media captured the moments immediately after Castañeda Mondragón’s arrest as four masked men walk him handcuffed through a parking lot. The video shows him unsteady and stumbling, held up by ICE officers.


“Don’t resist,” shouts the woman who is recording. “Cause they ain’t gonna do nothing but bang you up some more.”


“Hope they don’t kill you,” she adds.


“And y’all gave the man a concussion,” a male bystander shouts.

[Winehole23]

AP interviewed a doctor and five nurses about Castañeda Mondragón’s treatment at HCMC and the presence of ICE officers inside the hospital. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss patient care and feared retaliation. AP also consulted an outside physician, who affirmed the injuries were inconsistent with an accidental fall or running into a wall.


following the Jan. 31 publication of AP’s initial story about Castañeda Mondragón’s arrest, hospital administrators opened an internal inquiry seeking to determine which staff members have spoken to the media, according to internal communications viewed by AP.

Originally from Glenmore, Co Kilkenny (https://www.irishtimes.com/tags/kilkenny/), Seamus Culleton is married to a US citizen and owns a plastering business in the Boston area. He was arrested on September 9th, 2025, and has been in an Ice detention facility in Texas for nearly five months, despite having no criminal record, “not even a parking ticket”. In a phone interview from the facility, he said conditions there are “like a concentration camp, absolute hell”.

Culleton said he was carrying a Massachusetts driving licence and a valid work permit issued by the US government when he was pulled over by Ice on the way home from work in September. His work permit was issued as part of an application for a green card which he initiated in April 2025. He has a final interview remaining.

After his arrest, Culleton was allowed a brief phone call to his American wife Tiffany Smyth. She said she “broke down and cried. To know he was just taken, and he or I had no idea where they were taking him, was traumatising”.

For five days, Culleton was held in a small cell overflowing with other detainees, then flown to a Buffalo, New York, Ice facility.

In Buffalo he was interviewed by an Ice agent, who asked if he would sign a form agreeing to his deportation. Culleton said he refused, and instead ticked a box where detainees can state they wish to contest their arrest.
He wrote down that his grounds for contesting were that he was married to a US citizen and had a valid work permit.
He was then flown to the Ice facility in El Paso, Texas.
He said he has been locked in the same large, cold and damp room for 4½ months with more than 70 men. He said detainees are constantly hungry because meals served at tables in the centre of the room offer only child-sized portions. Fights often break out over food, “even over those little child-sized juice containers”. Toilet areas are “filthy”.
He said there is little to do but lie on a bed all day. Most detainees do not speak any English. He said he has been allowed outside for air and exercise fewer than a dozen times in nearly five months. The atmosphere is full of “anxiety and depression”, he said.

ICE is screwing up construction in South Texas


“They are basically taking everyone in there working, whether they have proper documentation or not,” said Mario Guerrero, chief executive of the South Texas Builders Association. Guerrero added that he voted for President Trump, along with most of the region, and supports deportations of criminals, but “when you are terrorizing jobsites, people are afraid to go to work.”


He said that his employees, who are all U.S. citizens or have legal work status, would frequently witness immigration raids when delivering products. Sometimes that meant builders were left with half-poured foundations that they would have to pay to rip out and redo as laborers were arrested mid-job.


Rodriguez said he is used to immigration enforcement at jobsites, but under previous administrations it was to arrest particular people, he said. Now, agents are targeting everyone.


Pallets that should have been picked up within 24 hours have now been sitting in his parking lot for months. The company took out a $1.3 million credit line to pay for tile that contractors ordered but never picked up because they couldn’t find workers.



Two guards at a nearby immigration detention center said they frequently see detainees come in still wearing dusty work clothes from construction jobsites. A significant portion of the men they now guard have valid work permits, they said, which they haven’t seen in previous administrations, but those detainees still wait weeks to see a judge before being released.


Because of that, people are afraid to work whether they have legal authorization or not, a reality that has hit the industry and broader regional economy hard. Paul Rodriguez, CEO of Valley Land Title, estimated that residential construction activity fell 30% in recent months in Hidalgo County.

America's Cyber Defense Agency Is Burning Down and Nobody's Coming to Put It Out

...
I'm a veteran. I served under both parties. I don't care which side of the aisle fixes this. I care that it gets fixed. CISA was created under the first Trump administration because the country needed a dedicated agency to defend against cyber threats to critical infrastructure. That mission hasn't changed. If anything, the threat has gotten exponentially worse since 2018.

What I see right now is an agency that is being gutted at the exact moment when we need it most. And the people who have the power to fix it are too busy playing procedural games to do their jobs.

I've spent over 30 years filling gaps that nobody else would fill. First in the Coast Guard, then in cybersecurity. My company exists because the private sector has to pick up what the government can't or won't do. But there are things the private sector cannot replace: the authority to coordinate across federal agencies, the ability to issue binding directives to critical infrastructure operators, and the institutional trust that comes from having a credible, well-led government cyber defense agency.

CISA is supposed to be that agency. Right now it's a shell of what it was built to be, run by someone who shouldn't be there, waiting for a leader the Senate won't confirm, while adversaries that have already breached our infrastructure prepare for whatever comes next.

If that doesn't scare you, you're not paying attention.

this might be one reason Trump appointed a completely unqualified pervert donor as Navy Secretary



Normally, when a federal agency wants to buy property or hire a contractor, it must go through a lengthy process — post a public solicitation, accept competing bids, evaluate proposals, and often get congressional approval for major real estate deals. This can take up to several months or more.


WEXMAC eliminates most of those steps. The 24 companies awarded contracts Friday are pre-qualified. ICE can issue what’s called a “task order” — essentially a specific work assignment — to any of them without starting the process over.


For GEO Group, this means guaranteed access to compete for ICE work worth potentially billions of dollars. The company reported $2.3 billion in revenue last year, with immigration detention as a major business line

"..... DHS claimed Sosa-Celis was driving the car and he, Aljorna and another man assaulted the agent before the agent fired his weapon.

The first inkling of the government questioning the DHS account came from the US Department of Justice. In a January 16 court filing supporting criminal charges against the two men, the DOJ asserted Aljorna was the one driving the vehicle.

In a stunning reversal, the Justice Department on Thursday filed a motion seeking to drop criminal charges against the two Venezuelan men. In it, the DOJ said federal prosecutors provided incorrect information to the court, while ICE issued a statement admitting its federal agents made “false statements” under oath...."

Noem and Lewandowski are incompetent clowns

The new Gulfstreams are deluxe: twin sleeping cabins, a wet bar, two bidets




Additional details have emerged about a mid-flight showdown between Homeland Security advisor Corey Lewandowski that led to a Coast Guard pilot's firing — and immediate reinstatement.


DHS Secretary Kristi Noem had ordered the purchase of two new Gulfstream jets at a cost of $170 million to replace the Coast Guard aircraft that had been used to ferry her predecessors, which some Coast Guard officials viewed as unnecessary and expensive. But two DHS officials told NBC News (https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/noems-use-coast-guard-resources-strains-relationship-military-branch-s-rcna258904) that military officials were instructed by a senior DHS official to keep their concerns to themselves.


“We were kept completely out of the loop on those Gulfstreams," said one of those DHS officials. "I wanted to know what money they used for those Gulfstreams. But basically, we were shut down.”


Noem clashed last year with Coast Guard staff after the Coast Guard plane she'd been flying on broke down and she had to use a backup jet to return to Washington, D.C. — an incident (https://www.rawstory.com/kristi-noem-corey-lewandowski-2675265921/?utm_source=msn) that blew up into a major story last week highlighting concerns about her leadership.


"Typically, government planes that are used for members of the executive branch’s travel are returned to what is called a 'sterile state' after each flight, which includes the removal of all personal items of the individuals who had traveled on it," a U.S. official told NBC. "But Noem liked the idea of keeping some personal items on board, including a heated blanket, for her convenience, so a storage cabinet on the aircraft was reserved for that purpose in a way that ran counter to typical protocols for most government aircraft."



Noem realized that she had left behind her personal items, including the blanket, while flying on the backup jet, and Lewandowski berated the flight staff and threatened to fire them for failing to grab them from the broken down craft, according to NBC's sources.


"The Coast Guard pilot came out of the cockpit to see what was happening," NBC reported, "and Lewandowski insisted the plane return to where the broken-down jet was located to collect the secretary’s items, the U.S. official, the current Coast Guard official and the former Coast Guard official said."


"When the pilot refused, Lewandowski announced the pilot was relieved of duty, according to the U.S. official, the current Coast Guard official and the former Coast official," the report added. "The pilot explained that if he was fired he would need to land the plane immediately while another pilot was found to continue the mission to Washington, the U.S. official, the current Coast Guard official and the former Coast Guard official said."


Lewandowski ultimately backed down, as Wall Street Journal reported (https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/chaos-kristi-noem-homeland-security-f095ac95?gaa_at=eafs&gaa_n=AWEtsqcSGWZLRgLixlB3DwDveP4p272WiywFQL4sptQA MKfUiI6zVxZcdSFDNm61GyU%3D&gaa_ts=698f6770&gaa_sig=k__qLw1FOSWjcI7L7VggDOwV5b-ImK6lk58dzprV1g-BHETGfTZ64F5xZtlJK6VWz8oAnU0eJOLfOjkrBYSneQ%3D%3D) on Friday. A DHS spokesperson did not answer questions about the in-flight confrontation.

DHS doesn't know up from down


On Tuesday night, hundreds of residents packed the Wilson County Commission meeting (https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/ice-backs-off-lebanon-detention-113655946.html) in Lebanon, Tenn., to protest an ICE detention facility that the federal government had announced was coming to their community. They did not know — could not have known — that ICE was already drafting the email that would tell reporters the announcement had never been authorized.


That same evening, the agency sent word (https://tennesseelookout.com/2026/02/17/immigration-and-customs-enforcement-reverses-course-says-it-hasnt-purchased-facility-in-lebanon/): “ICE has NOT purchased a facility in Lebanon, Tennessee. That statement was sent without proper approval and this mistake has since been rectified.”


By Wednesday morning, ICE had issued a second retraction (https://www.chroniclenewspaper.com/news/local-news/ice-retracts-statement-about-warehouse-purchase-DG5585713), in nearly identical language, for a warehouse it had also claimed to have purchased in Chester, N.Y.


The back-to-back reversals were not isolated stumbles. They capped a week in which ICE distributed an economic analysis for a proposed facility in New Hampshire that appeared to have been copied from a document prepared for another state, ICE’s acting director told Congress something a sitting governor directly contradicted, and the department’s top spokesperson announced she was leaving. Taken as a whole, these episodes reveal an agency issuing confident, specific information — purchase confirmations, job projections, tax revenue figures — that it cannot stand behind.

At the age of 14, “Jane Doe” - as the devoutly Christian (https://www.independent.co.uk/bulletin/lifestyle/when-lent-starts-2026-ash-wednesday-catholic-b2922120.html) and former hairdresser in the Democratic Republic of Congo - was forced to become the African politician’s sixth wife in order to satisfy a family debt, according to the motion. For the next decade, Doe was physically and sexually abused by her husband and two of his sons, bearing four children while being “kept like a hostage,” says the motion, which seeks Doe’s immediate return (https://www.independent.co.uk/news/immigration-and-customs-enforcement-african-department-of-homeland-security-american-b2922213.html) to the U.S.



In late 2024, Doe managed to escape to her parents’ house, the motion goes on. But Doe’s politician husband quickly found her, brutalized her and her brother, ordered his bodyguards to execute her father in front of her, and burned the family home to the ground, the motion says. When Doe went to the police, they said her only option was to leave the country because “her abuser was too powerful and… they could not protect her,” according to the motion.https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/ice-deported-asylum-seeker-africa-domestic-abuse-b2922331.html

ICE's involvement was kept under wraps for a year

detaining harmless tourists to satisfy quotas




The dream holiday ended abruptly on Friday 26 September, as Karen and Bill were trying to leave the US. When they crossed the border, Canadian officials told them they didn’t have the correct paperwork to bring the car with them. They were turned back to Montana on the American side – and to US border control officials. Bill’s US visa had expired; Karen’s had not.


“I worried then,” she says. “I was worried for him. I thought, well, at least I am here to support him.”


She didn’t know it at the time, but it was the beginning of an ordeal that would see Karen handcuffed, shackled and sleeping on the floor of a locked cell, before being driven for 12 hours through the night to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention centre. Karen was incarcerated for a total of six weeks – even though she had been travelling with a valid visa.


Karen has no criminal record. She is a grandmother who spent eight years working as an admin assistant at a primary school before her retirement. “I don’t even have parking tickets in the background anywhere,” she says. “I am not a dangerous criminal. I didn’t enter the country illegally and I had everything I needed to be there.”


So why did ICE detain her, and keep her locked up for so long? A possible answer began to emerge over the weeks she was incarcerated. As Karen got to know the guards at the Northwest ICE Processing Center where she was held, she kept hearing the same thing from them: that ICE officers are paid a bonus every time they detain someone. “Individual ICE agents get money per head that they detain – the guards told me that,” Karen says.
It’s no secret that the Trump administration (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/trump-administration) has been pouring money into ICE. Its annual budget – $6bn a decade ago – is now $85bn; ICE is now the highest -funded law enforcement agency in the US. Since last August, new recruits can expect to receive a signing-on bonus of up to $50,000. Karen’s experience has left her convinced that ICE agents are being given even more incentives – to arrest and detain anyone they possibly can, even blameless tourists who have all the paperwork they need to be in the US.



When they were turned back from Canada, and US border control agents saw that Bill’s visa had expired, Karen fully expected to be allowed to return home. The Newtons immediately offered to pay for their flights – they had funds available to cover the tickets – but the officials “weren’t interested”, she says. Instead, they were taken into an office and made to wait there, from 10.30am until nightfall.


At first, Karen was bewildered. “There was no reason to hold me,” she says. “Bill’s an adult. Why am I held responsible for him?” When she asked why she was being detained, an officer told her his supervisor had instructed him to hold her. The hours ticked by. “It was scary. You have no way of knowing what’s going to happen. It got darker and darker. And then other agents turned up with all these chains and handcuffs.”


Karen and Bill were shackled at the wrists , waist and ankles and bundled into a vehicle. Karen doesn’t know how long they were on the road for. “It just seemed to be a never-ending day.” They arrived at Sweetgrass border patrol station in Montana in the middle of the night, and were held there for three days, sharing a cell without beds; they slept on mats on the floor, under foil blankets. “I was very nervous and frightened the whole time. And I was chilled to the bone – I couldn’t warm up.”


They were interviewed separately. Karen was not offered a lawyer; she wasn’t entitled to one, she says, because she had been detained, rather than arrested. She didn’t think she needed one, anyway. “I just thought, ‘When they listen to me, when they come to their senses, they are going to let me go.’ I thought they might escort me to the airport and put us on a plane – hopefully both of us. But that didn’t happen.”


Bill had been working in the US with a valid work permit, but did not have a green card – fed up with the appeals process, he had decided to leave and retire back in the UK. Karen was told that she was “guilty by association”, and that she had broken the terms of her valid B2 tourist visa by helping her husband pack for the trip. “It just went from crazy to ridiculous. It felt like they just wanted an excuse to detain me.”



“He said, ‘If you volunteer for self-removal – and because of the special relationship the US has with the UK – it will be over very quickly,’” Karen continues. They’d have to sign a document that would mean they would be banned from the US for up to 10 years, and waive their right to go before a judge. If they chose not to, and waited for their day in court, they would be prolonging the ordeal, she was told.


“I said to him, ‘I’m on holiday. I want to go home.’ I would have taken the shortest route, whatever it was, which he said was volunteering for self-removal.” So they signed. Karen had no way of knowing that she was only on day three of what would turn out to be 42 days of detention.

federal district court judges stating to speak plainly about secret police doing secret police stuff

[Winehole23]

Petitioner was driving through West Virginia when he was stopped by an unmarked vehicle, despite having violated no traffic laws. The officer cited only a plastic cover on his license plate as the reason for the stop. As Petitioner waited, additional unmarked vehicles converged on the scene. Despite presenting his duly issued driver’s license and an employment authorization document issued by U.S. immigration authorities, he was ordered out of the vehicle and handcuffed by masked individuals without any explanation. He was taken into custody by masked, unknown federal agents, leaving him unable to identify those seizing him. I conclude that the use of masked agents to effect a civil immigration detention under these circumstances is unreasonable and unconstitutional. As a result, Petitioner’s Fourth Amendment rights were unquestionably violated.


When precedent directly resolves the question before me, that ends the inquiry. When prior cases provide clear guidance, I follow it. But when existing cases address different facts, different contexts, and different questions, the Constitution still applies. And the court must determine what it means through disciplined interpretation, not serial citation. This is especially true when the government employs practices so recent that doctrine has not yet addressed them. The absence of a case holding that warrantless, non-exigent, anonymous civil seizures in the interior of the United States violate the Fourth Amendment does not mean the Constitution permits them. It means the practice is new enough, and brazen enough, that no court has yet been required to state the obvious. This court is now required to say it.



The Founders recognized that freedom is imperiled not only when government actions lack legal justification, but also when those actions are carried out by agents whose authority is unchecked and whose actions cannot be traced. In this light, a warrantless, anonymous civil seizure like the one at issue here is merely a general warrant in modern dress. Masking and anonymization of officers, therefore, are fundamentally inconsistent with the historical understanding of the Fourth Amendment.

[Winehole23]

What justifies concealment in genuine exigencies is that it is exceptional. Stops without identification must remain rare exceptions, not routine practice. Doornbos, 868 F.3d at 584 (permitting plainclothes officers to initiate stops without identifying themselves “must remain a rare exception, not the rule”). Anonymous policing “provokes panic and hostility from confused civilians who have no way of knowing that the stranger who seeks to detain them is an officer.” Doornbos, 868 F.3d at 584. “Self-defense is a basic right,” McDonald v. City of Chicago, 561 U.S. 742, 767 (2010), “and many civilians who would peaceably comply with a police officer’s order will understandably be ready to resist or flee when accosted—let alone grabbed—by an unidentified person who is not in a police officer’s uniform.” Doornbos, 868 F.3d at 585.

What is happening here bears no resemblance to those recognized exceptions. This is not an undercover operation. No specific danger has been identified that required these agents to be masked for this arrest. This is a deliberate choice to conduct routine civil immigration enforcement through masked anonymous agents operating without warrants across the interior of the United States.

When concealment becomes policy rather than exception, the government has not invoked an exigency. It has abolished the rule that exigency was meant to qualify.

[Winehole23]

A mask does not stop a bullet. It does not deflect a blow. It provides no physical protection that the tactical equipment these officers already carry does not provide. A mask does one thing: it hides the face of the officer wearing it. On a public highway, in a civil arrest of a person suspected of no crime, the only purpose served by hiding an officer’s face is to prevent his identification. And preventing identification serves only to eliminate accountability.

A law enforcement practice whose sole operational effect is the elimination of accountability is not a safety measure. It is a constitutional deficiency wearing the name of one.

The point runs much deeper than the inadequacy of the government’s justification. Every public official who exercises coercive power assumes some personal exposure as the price of legitimate authority. Judges sentence. Prosecutors accuse. Officers seize. None is entitled to anonymity as a default condition of exercising state force.

The officer who arrests a person stands in no different constitutional position than the judge who sentences him or the prosecutor who sought the conviction. All exercise delegated authority. All do so under their own names and in their own persons, because accountability is not a burden imposed on public officials as a matter of grace. It is the structural condition of their authority. Remove it and what remains is not law enforcement. It is force without a face, which is another name for the thing the Fourth Amendment was written to prevent.

[Winehole23]

An anonymous government is no government at all. It cannot be held accountable. A masked agent freely uses force without justifying his actions, and the public cannot name him to challenge his conduct.

A regime of secret policing has no place in our society. Here, the Government’s power is derived by the People, and the People must be able to identify the Government when it acts to infringe on their liberty. Masks obscure government action and deprive the public of its Fourth Amendment protections.

Therefore, the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus, [ECF No. 26], is GRANTED. Petitioner is ORDERED released immediately from civil immigration custody. Respondents are PROHIBITED from re-arresting and detaining Petitioner absent significant change in circumstances to justify detention or subject to the determination of a neutral and detached decisionmaker.

Joshua Orta, 25, a close friend who was with Martinez during the shooting and the only known eyewitness, had planned to formally sign a statement and assist with further inquiries into the incident before he was killed over the weekend in an unrelated highway collision near San Antonio, according to Martinez’s family attorney. His statement contradicted the Department of Homeland Security’s version of events.

Martinez, 23, was shot and killed on March 15, 2025, in South Padre Island, Texas, during an encounter with federal agents that authorities later confirmed involved a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations unit—an involvement that was not publicly disclosed at the time....

ICE killed a detainee at Ft. Bliss, told the public that it was a suicide attempt, then deported the witness




The Trump administration has updated the events that led up to the death of a Cuban immigrant held at Camp East Montana (https://www.elpasotimes.com/story/news/immigration/2026/01/27/how-el-paso-is-becoming-a-hub-for-ice-migrant-detentions-deportations/88364553007/).
Geraldo Lunas Campos' death was the result of a "spontaneous use of force," a new report from ICE (https://www.ice.gov/doclib/foia/reports/ddr_LUNASCampos.pdf) reads. The report states that guards responded to stop Lunas Campos from inflicting self-harm.


A 911 call was made by guards on Jan. 3 that reported the incident as "an attempted suicide," according to the El Paso 911 call logs obtained by the El Paso Times. The El Paso County coroner's office ruled that Lunas Campos' death was a homicide (https://www.elpasotimes.com/story/news/immigration/2026/01/21/migrants-geraldo-lunas-campos-death-at-el-paso-ice-center-ruled-a-homicide/88294285007/).



U.S. Rep. Veronica Escobar called for a criminal investigation into the homicide of Lunas Campos after ICE's statement and called for the closure of the immigration detention center.



"Now that DHS has acknowledged the homicide inside of Camp East Montana was a result of a use-of-force incident, accountability must follow," Escobar, D-El Paso, said. "DHS should turn over all information and evidence to law enforcement in order for there to be a criminal investigation. At the minimum, this includes an investigation into the private contractor, access to security footage that may have documented the homicide, the publication of the private contractor's use of force policy, and an explanation as to why they initially lied to the public."https://www.elpasotimes.com/story/news/immigration/2026/02/24/a-detainee-at-camp-east-montana-saw-guards-kill-an-immigrant-then-was-deported/88742190007/

lots of people should go to prison for this, hiding the government's hand in a killing is a sinister crime

[Winehole23]

Lunas Campos's last words were "I have asthma," as he began to convulse, Andrade Mosquera said.


The guards removed the handcuffs from his body before paramedics arrived, administering oxygen for about half an hour before declaring him dead. Andrade Mosquera could hear, from his position, the paramedic say in English, "there is no reaction."


Andrade Mosquera and the others, in seclusion, began yelling "killer" and "murder" at the guards.


"They killed him here in Cell 8," Andrade Mosquera said. "He didn't die en route to the hospital, he didn't die in the ambulance, he didn't die in the hospital, they killed him there."

"sloppiness" is load-bearing

ICE lied again


A federal judge reprimanded Donald Trump’s administration (https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/border-patrol-arrest-worker-alligator-alcatraz-b2926862.html) for claiming that an immigrant seeking his release from custody was convicted for marijuana possession in 2009 — when he was 4 years old.


To support arguments for the man’s ongoing detention and removal from the country, government lawyers attached a document from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/doj-deportation-judge-application-responses-b2927218.html) that they "indicated" was related to his criminal history.


They submitted the document in court filings “despite the differences in birthdate, birthplace, parents’ names, and immigration status,” West Virginia District Judge Irene Berger noted in her order to release him on Tuesday.



“This sloppiness further validates the Court’s concerns about the procedures utilized by the Respondents depriving people present in the United States of their liberty,” she wrote.

...filed in 2014, focused on practices at GEO’s facility in Aurora, Colorado. Immigration detainees there were required to clean all common areas and faced possible solitary confinement for failing to comply. They were offered $1 a day for work preparing food and cleaning laundry at a time when the state’s minimum wage was $8 an hour.

The civil lawsuit alleges that the arrangement violated a federal law prohibiting forced labor and, because the policies saved labor costs for GEO, ran afoul of a Colorado common-law prohibition on unjust enrichment....

Blind refugee found dead on street after US Border Patrol left him miles from his home

A blind refugee detained by US border patrol has died on the street after he was released 8km from his home in sub-zero temperatures.

Nurul Amin Shah Alam, 56, was found dead on a street in Buffalo on Tuesday at 8.30pm.

At the time, temperatures in the upstate New York city were approximately -6 degrees.

A medical examination ruled out exposure or homicide as causes of death.

Alam, who spoke little English, had been declared missing by his family two days earlier.

Alam had been taken into Border Patrol custody last Thursday after leaving the custody of the Erie County Sheriff's Department.

moar luxury jets

lol Kristi Noem's flying fuck palace


BC News (https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/no-expense-spared-luxury-jet-dhs-wants-buy-deportations-rcna259425?ref=gillianbrockell.ghost.io) reported last week what avgeeks and ICE watchers have been talking about for months: Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has been flying around on a recently acquired luxury Boeing 737. DHS told NBC the jet, which is worth an estimated $70 million and comes with a queen bed, showers, a kitchen, and four flat-screen TVs, would serve a “dual purpose” for Cabinet-level official travel and deportations.

Obviously, this is bullshit – flight data (https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=a5c6a4&lat=38.657&lon=-96.173&zoom=4.0&showTrace=2026-01-29&ref=gillianbrockell.ghost.io) shows it has never done anything resembling a deportation – but the situation is actually so much worse than this one 737. Over the last four months, Noem’s DHS has acquired at least nine new airplanes, with another on the way. Of those, half appear to be luxury jets.
https://gillianbrockell.ghost.io/noems-luxury-d-jet-for-deportations-is-the-tip-of-the-ice-berg/

[Winehole23]

The latest, a 2016 Gulfstream 650, popped onto my radar (pun intended (https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=a5ce12&lat=38.845&lon=-77.045&zoom=5.0&showTrace=2026-02-20&ref=gillianbrockell.ghost.io)) on Feb. 20, flying from Joint Base Andrews in Maryland to Nashville and back, registered to DHS. A day earlier, it had been registered to Valkyrie Aviation Holdings Group, part of a shadowy network of shell companies connected to MAGA-aligned former State Department officials. Together, these companies have gotten more than a billion dollars in DHS contracts in a matter of months.


This story will put together reporting from Vanity Fair (https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2021/05/inside-the-secretive-government-unit-saving-american-lives-around-the-world?srsltid=AfmBOoqi7tMl4gQzaQzd3RBypaHpf406tN1K lAHkqnhk4z_dHucux4bf&ref=gillianbrockell.ghost.io), Mother Jones (https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2025/10/dhs-ice-self-deportation-contract-salus-worldwide-solutions-csi-aviation/?ref=gillianbrockell.ghost.io), The War Zone (https://www.twz.com/news-features/luxury-boeing-737-looks-to-be-flying-for-the-department-of-homeland-security?ref=gillianbrockell.ghost.io), and The Washington Post (https://www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/2025/12/10/dhs-deport-boeing-contract/?ref=gillianbrockell.ghost.io), along with new information and my own reporting, to reveal the full scale of DHS's fleet expansion.


Last August, DHS boasted (https://www.dhs.gov/news/2025/08/22/secretary-noem-delivers-12-billion-savings-american-people-200-days?ref=gillianbrockell.ghost.io) that “Noem personally reviews and approves any contract above $100,000.” Like the stockpiling of weapons (https://newrepublic.com/article/206994/ice-stockpiling-military-weaponry-trump-forever-war?ref=gillianbrockell.ghost.io) and fast-tracked warehouse purchases (https://www.thehandbasket.co/p/ice-concentration-camps-wexmac-titus?ref=gillianbrockell.ghost.io) all over the country, the rapid acquisition of these aircraft shows that Noem’s DHS is swimming in cash and out of control.



First, the G7s. We know $50 million had been budgeted for a replacement. The New York Times reports (https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/us/politics/kristi-noem-dhs-gulfstream.html?ref=gillianbrockell.ghost.io) the two upgraded jets will cost $172 million. From where in the USCG budget is that extra $122 million coming? We have no idea! But there’s a Coast Guard member on Reddit whose office hasn't had heat all winter (https://www.reddit.com/r/uscg/comments/1r73rws/noems_use_of_coast_guard_resources_strains_her/?ref=gillianbrockell.ghost.io) and was just told the funds to fix the HVAC system had dried up, and I don’t think he’s going to be happy about the new jets.


Next, the 737s. Daedalus’s contract to acquire six and stand up an airline was for $140 million. That was always going to be aspirational, but with the luxury 737 alone costing half that, it’s downright impossible. And that doesn’t even factor in the cost of refurbishment or hiring and training the crew they are trying to hire and train. Is that coming from the $915 million Salus contract in the middle of a lawsuit? We have no idea!


DHS tried to convince NBC News that using the luxury 737 for deportations would “sav[e] the American taxpayer hundreds of millions of dollars,” because, “this plane flies at 40 percent cheaper than what the military aircraft flies for ICE deportation flights.” Which, honestly, was a pathetic attempt at the grift.


Military ICE flights are rare, and among the most expensive – some estimates are as high as $28,500 per flight hour. Forty percent off of $28,500 makes $17,000 an hour – still more than CSI Aviation charges for a 737 – $15,865 per flight hour – on its most recent price list (https://www.gsaadvantage.gov/ref_text/GS33F0025V/0YUQVG.3UL3Q4_GS-33F-0025V_GS33F0025VCSIAVIATIONGSAPRICELISTMODPS0085NO V2023.PDF?ref=gillianbrockell.ghost.io). And the latter will fit more passengers.


Lastly, let me say something about where these planes are going. I’ve logged every flight for the USCG jets and the luxury 737 going back to October, and while it is often not possible to know who is using which plane and for what reason, let me just say: Those 17 trips to Noem’s hometown of Watertown, SD, in the last 18 weeks? That was her.


If she misses it so much, perhaps she should go back to stay. Preferably via Greyhound.

Noem bought marked cars for Trump's secret police


A former Trump administration (https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/tag/trump-administration) official wasted millions of taxpayer dollars given to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to purchase thousands of employee vehicles that the agency cannot use to arrest illegal immigrants (https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/tag/immigration), according to three sources.

ICE’s (https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/tag/ice) top brass are quietly searching for a way to amend the remainder of a massive order of pick-up trucks and SUVs that were ordered last year and slated to be wrapped with the agency’s name, logo, and motto, as well as storing away many vehicles that have been delivered to ICE facilities across the country, the Washington Examiner has learned.

“ICE has never had marked vehicles,” the first person familiar with the purchases said in a phone call. “In talking to people, they’re like, ‘We don’t want to use these, we can’t.'”https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/immigration/4478925/deputy-director-ice-bought-thousands-marked-vehicles-cannot-use/#google_vignette

[Winehole23]

Last November, the agency said (https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/immigration/3776793/ice-new-vehicles-devotes-millions-custom-wrap/) it would spend $2.25 million to buy 25 Chevrolet Tahoes that would be emblazoned with ICE’s new logo and used for recruitment purposes as the agency moved to hire 10,000 new deportation officers following the several vehicles it debuted in August.


The Chevy contract was given to a prominent Republican donor, Rick Hendrick, owner of Hendrick Motorsports in North Carolina. It was not completed, meaning that other companies were not allowed to offer proposals and prices that they could fulfill the order for.


An additional $174,000 to $230,000 was given to three companies to wrap the vehicles in their new markings.

A U.S. citizen from Illinois was detained by federal agents at O’Hare Airport in Chicago on Thursday after returning from a work trip.

Sundas “Sunny” Naqvi, 28, was among six people sent to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) processing centers in Illinois and Wisconsin over what federal officials told them was “curious travel history,” the Chicago Sun-Times reported. Naqvi was held for about 43 hours before being released on Sunday.

Newsweek reached out to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for comment via email Monday morning.....

Kat Abughazaleh, a Democratic congressional candidate in Illinois' 9th District, told the Chicago Sun-Times: “They were only brought home after their families and our community refused to back down and kept asking for answers.

BP chief accused of sex toruism


The national chief of the Border Patrol, Michael Banks, was known among colleagues for taking regular trips abroad to engage in sex with prostitutes, according to six current and former Border Patrol employees who spoke with the Washington Examiner.


Banks “bragged” to colleagues while in his previous management role at Border Patrol (https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/tag/border-patrol) about paying for sex with prostitutes while traveling in Colombia and Thailand over the course of a decade. Banks’ behavior was said to have been investigated by Customs and Border Protection officials twice, including last year, but the investigation ended abruptly while Homeland Security (https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/tag/department-of-homeland-security) Secretary Kristi Noem (https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/tag/border-patrol) was in office, leading to more questions.



The first source, a retired Border Patrol agent in management, shared in a phone call in late March that he had known Banks personally in the early to mid 2010s when Banks was a field operations supervisor in Nogales, Arizona. The agent had met with Banks and another agent at restaurants on several occasions, in which Banks had invited him to go with him and another agent on a trip abroad.


“Initially, he said, ‘We like to go scuba diving.’ But then he’s like, ‘We get a bunch of prostitutes and have a good time,’” the retired agent recalled. “And I told him, ‘No, thanks.’ And I kind of just stopped associating with him on any personal level after that.”


The trips were on Banks’ personal time, according to the same person. Other current and former Border Patrol employees in Arizona and Texas confirmed that they had heard about Banks touting his trips and what he did on them, either first-person or secondhand.


The trips continued after Banks moved to the Rio Grande Valley of Texas in the late 2010s and possibly up until his retirement in 2023. Banks returned to the DHS in January 2025.


The first source, the closest person to Banks, said he chose to speak out now because it bothered him that the head of the organization had so openly talked about his endeavors.


“He’s going to know it’s me,” the same person said. “F*** him, because he knows the truth.”

Ramos' case would have been easy to resolve in the past, Stock said, but instead DHS now appears to be focusing on detaining members of military families whenever the opportunity arises — including when, like Ramos, they are attempting to apply for legal status.


"It doesn't make any sense — they're going to get arrested for following the law? That's stupid," Stock said. "It's bad for morale, it disrupts the soldiers' readiness."

Marine Corps veteran Adrian Clouatre doesn’t know how to tell his children where their mother went after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers detained her in May.
When his nearly 2-year-old son Noah asks for his mother before bed, Clouatre just tells him, “Mama will be back soon.” When his 3-month-old, breastfeeding daughter Lyn is hungry, he gives her a bottle of baby formula instead. He’s worried how his newborn will bond with her mother absent skin-to-skin contact.

An ICE agent who was part of the federal immigration surge in Minnesota earlier this year was charged with felony second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon, a Minnesota prosecutor announced Thursday. The agent, Gregory Donnell Morgan Jr., is accused of pointing a gun at the heads of two civilians in a vehicle, Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said.

Narrator: it wasn't a mistake, DHS lies all day long


A federal judge said Monday that the Trump administration had put her security at risk by posting a “patently false (https://www.dhs.gov/news/2026/04/30/activist-biden-judge-releases-violent-criminal-illegal-alien-wanted-murder)” allegation that she knowingly released an ICE detainee with an international warrant for murder.

Justice Department attorney Kevin Bolan profusely apologized to Rhode Island-based U.S. District Judge Melissa DuBose for the press release posted last week by the Department of Homeland Security, which Bolan acknowledged “simply was not true.”
https://www.politico.com/news/2026/05/04/ice-detention-case-contempt-hearing-00905610

DOJ apologized, but the false DHS press release is still online


“The April 30th, completely erroneous and dangerous press release is still on their website,” the judge complained, adding, “It puts people at risk. It’s a threat to judicial security.”


“I’m not trying to make this political,” the Biden appointee added. “It’s also very important that the public has the facts. As long as this particular post is out there, it’s setting up a false narrative.”


DuBose appeared particularly aggrieved that Bolan knew about the arrest warrant and intentionally withheld that information from her, although she later said she believes that ICE is primarily responsible for what she called “misconduct.” She noted that if there was a legitimate concern about confidentiality, Bolan could simply have filed something under seal to alert the judge.

DuBose said at the hearing Monday that she is considering whether to hold officials from DHS or DOJ in contempt of court for their handling of the situation. “There was a serious breakdown in the ethical codes here,” the judge said.

Afghan father, former U.S. military ally, dies in ICE custody in North Texas

An Afghan father who served with U.S. forces died in immigration custody less than a day after being arrested in North Texas.

Mohammad Nazeer Paktiawal's family said he was in the country legally after serving alongside the U.S. military in Afghanistan and evacuating to the U.S. in 2021. According to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the 41-year-old had a criminal history and his temporary legal status had expired.

"He was arrested in front of these kids while taking them to school at 7 in the morning. Some people surrounded him, put him in the car, and drove him away while they were screaming, asking for help," Naseer Paktiawal said.

Less than 24 hours later, Naseer Paktiawal received a call that his brother was dead.

...

ICE confirmed that Mohammad Nazeer Paktiawal had been in custody for one day before he was declared dead at Parkland Hospital in Dallas.

In a statement, ICE confirmed that Mohammad Nazeer Paktiawal was arrested on March 13. The agency also said that Mohammad Nazeer Paktiawal had a criminal history, including being charged with SNAP fraud of $200 or more by the District Attorney's office in Dallas on Sept. 16, 2025, and an arrest for theft on Nov. 1, 2025, for which he was released on bail. ICE said neither case had been heard by the time of his death.

ICE said when Mohammad Nazeer Paktiawal was taken into custody, he "did not report any prior medical history."

One American loses their job for every 6 immigrants removed from the workforce as researchers see ‘no evidence’ that ICE is helping the economy

Donald Trump said he had been given a “mandate” by the electorate when he returned to office last year, with one of his charges being to enact mass deportations. Most of his voters seemed to agree, with immigration often topping Republican priorities heading into the 2024 election.

Most Americans still support a heavy hand on illegal immigration. Almost nine out of 10 Republicans and independents who lean Republican say they want a strong military presence on the border, according to recent Pew polling, with a large majority also supporting stricter entry controls such as allowing immigration officers to review social media accounts.

...

Many workers who were born in the U.S. benefited from a complementary immigrant workforce that supported parts of their industry, according to a study by researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder and published last week by the National Bureau of Economic Research. But with the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown over the past year, largely mediated through ICE, at least 1.2 million foreign-born workers have left the labor force, dismantling the structure that supported native-born jobs too.

“Heightened ICE activity is harming the labor market overall, and we find no evidence that it is benefiting U.S.-born workers,” Chloe East, one of the study’s authors, said in a statement. “If anything, job opportunities for U.S.-born workers are going down as a result.”

...

The more realistic outcome is what businesses usually do when a labor supply dries up: scale back their operations.

The construction industry is already a strong case in point, as East’s study found that the employment rate for U.S.-born workers in construction has dipped 3% because of ICE activity. Last year, almost half of construction firms attributed project delays to labor shortages, according to a survey by the Associated General Contractors of America, a trade association. Nearly 30% of firms said the administration’s immigration enforcement had contributed to their staffing woes.

“There is a common narrative out there that mass deportations will free up job opportunities for U.S.-born workers, but numerous studies, including ours, have shown that is false,” said East. “If a construction company can’t find laborers, they’re going to take on less work and hire fewer people overall.”

Federal authorities initially accused Sosa-Celis and Alfredo Alejandro Aljorna of beating an officer with a broom handle and a snow shovel during the incident, but a federal judge later dismissed the charges and federal officials opened an investigation into whether two immigration officers lied under oath about what happened.

Department of Homeland Security and Justice Department officials didn't immediately respond to emails seeking comment. DHS previously said that lying under oath is a "serious federal offense" and that making false statements could result in an officer being fired or prosecuted.https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/minnesota-county-charges-ice-officer-in-shooting-during-immigration-crackdown

US Senator pepper-sprayed by ICE outside immigration detention center: ‘It’s just burning’

​Kim went on to say that the crowd of protestors formed a line in front of the ICE agents, prompting him to position himself in the middle of the two sides to “de-escalate the situation” and to prevent a “physical clash.”

​Then, ICE told him that they were planning to “push through the crowd,” because they wanted to move a vehicle. When the vehicle did eventually start to move, Kim says he ran to put himself between the protesters and ICE agents. ​

According to him, “that’s when they started to shoot at us with pepper balls as well as using the pepper spray.” ​

Kim added that ICE agents were “tackling people” amid the chaos. ​

Governor Mikie Sherrill also joined Monday’s protest.

While there, Sherrill heard from the families of detainees who have complained about their loved ones being served spoiled and rotten food, as well as receiving inadequate medical care. ​
